Bio:

Blackened sludge 6
piece from Adelaide, Australia. Est in 2007, Space Bong have
destroyed minds alongside OM, Wolves In The Throne Room, Neurosis,
Earthless, Black Cobra, Monarch, Acid King, Cough & Whitehorse.
After many years of rehab, isolation & living off-grid, Space
Bong will reassert their heavy, loose dominance of the drone in 2015,
with the second full length album, Deadwood To Worms.

Review:

So
almost 6 years since the release of their critically acclaimed and
classic debut album – The Death Of Utopia – Aussie Blackened
Sludge Overlords – Space Bong – will be releasing a new album –
Deadwood To Worms – around Sept 2015. Before then they've released
new cassette tape – In Doom We Crust.

According
to the PR Blurb – In Doom We Crust’ features the miserable
new single ‘Deadwood to Worms,’ alongside ‘In Goon We Crust’
(a b-side from the 2009 sessions for The Death of Utopia), and a live
version of The Protocols Of Space Bong 13-24.

Deadwood
To Worms is the main attraction here from their eagerly awaited
second new album. And boy doesn't this not disappoint. It simply
fucking crushes. This is bleak desolate Sludge/Doom Metal at it's
most angry and pissed off form. Fans of THOU and EYEHATEGOD are going
to be in musical heaven. As this slow-paced epic track will leave you
in a shivering wreck. The riffs are drenched in misery and epic
depressive rhythms of chaos. The vocals are very hard to understand
as Space Bong make their presence known after 6 years away.

There
are hints of Stoner Metal hiding amongst the murky and violent riffs.
It's an unpleasant experience but one you can only admire. Bring on
the new album. As I'm ready for more punishment – Space Bong!!! -
The two other tracks are definitely worth checking out especially if
you're new to the world of Space Bong. It gives you a taste of what
to expect from this legendary band from Down Under.

Thanks
to Art As Catharsis for the promo. In Doom We Crust is available to
buy now from BandCamp.
